MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan declared Twitter’s Community Notes feature a “weapon of the Right” after fact-checking his lie about white-on-white violence in America.
Recently, Hasan responded to a clip from Bill Maher during which the latter criticized uncontrolled crime in Chicago. Hasan found Maher’s comments to be racist. He then tweeted a clip of his “Offensive Tropes” segment where he claimed white-on-white crime stats are almost identical to that of black-on-black.

Under previous ownership, the almighty algorithm may have awarded Hasan for his deceit. The tweets certainly would’ve gone unchecked.
